Korean Makgeolli
Sancheoneo Makgeolli
산천어막걸리
Hwacheon Brewing in Gangwon-do layers puffed rice, rice koji, and a wheat-based starter to build this 6% makgeolli with a plush, marshmallow-like body. The puffed rice contributes airiness, the koji adds a clean enzymatic sweetness, and the wheat starter brings a faint sourdough backbone that prevents the profile from reading as one-dimensional. Named after the mountain trout (sancheoneo) celebrated in Hwacheon's famous ice fishing festival, it carries the region's spirit in every sip. A 2012 Korea Woorisool Grand Prize and 2013 IWSC Silver medal mark it as one of Gangwon's most decorated makgeollis. Serve at 5-7°C with hwacheon-style freshwater fish dishes, or with tteokbokki where the marshmallow body absorbs gochugaru heat.

Donggurae
동구래
Donggurae highlights rice from Hwacheon in Gangwon-do, fermented with domestic nuruk and native yeast for a calm, transparent style. The aroma stays restrained while the palate is silky and clean, making it easy to read alongside food. It works beautifully with grilled fish, steamed dishes, and formal Korean course meals.
